I have chosen to make an 8 x 6 layout today ~ I am continuing to build up my ‘small’ scrapbook, and have done a double page layout for this months hop. I think the smaller size is just a little different ~ not everyone is into the larger pages and a smaller one is just a bit more manageable.

2023 Flip Over Desk Calendar ~ Valentine Hearts

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Once again I enjoyed designing and making my flip over calendar for 2023, with the help of my friend, Elly – while she was visiting from the UK in October. . As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024

I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .

So today I share, Valentine Hearts

Scrapbook Inspired – New Year Card

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Each month I take part in a Scrapbook hop,  I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages.

December’s hop had a Hidden Message theme (check it out here) I chose to have my hidden message on a New Year layout so today’s card is full of celebration with lots of bling to make my heart happy. I think this would make an wonderful congratulations card, for graduation, anniversary, engagement – just change out the greeting !!

Slimline Anniversary Card featuring Stenciling Technique

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I just love slim line cards – they give you a little more room to work a design than our regular 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 cards without having to pay any additional postage!

Today I have a video tutorial to share with you from a recent You Tube live I did – as I explained this is a card for my youngest step-son and his wife’s anniversary – I hope you enjoy it! You can tune into my live event each Sunday at 12 noon (CST) 6pm (GMT) – here is the link www.youtube.com/c/CindysCorner100

Welcome to my Corner of the World

We have a couple more days of Sale-a-bration ~ a chance to get free stuff when you place a qualifying order ~ for every $50 to $100 you spend you get to select free products from the Sale-A-Bration Summer 2022 Brochure. (see the link to the right) In the brochure, each item indicates if it requires a $50 or $100 purchase. Depending on the amount you spend, you’ll be able to mix and match the Sale-A-Bration items you earn. There are some fantastic options to choose from stamp sets, designer paper, and dies! – click here for more info on Sale-a-bration.

I used one of the new stamp sets from the 2022 January – June Mini Catalog – Eden’s Garden – for their card which I am sharing today.

Slimline Silver Embossed Celebrate Card Idea

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Last week my brother and sister-in-law celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary, which is silver! Neither of them are into delicate, dainty or fancy, so after much thought and a stroll thru my stamp sets I decided the Stacked Stone Stamp would make a fantastic background with some elegant leaves from the Artistic Dies.

To bring in the silver theme I heat embossed the Stacked Stone image with Silver Embossing Powder. I did not want to add too much bulk to the card as it has to be posted to the UK, so the heat embossing had a huge impact.
